In a large department store, the owner wishes to see whether the number of shoplifting incidents per day will change if the number of uniformed security officers is doubled. A random sample of 7 days before security is increased and 7 days after the increase shows the number of shoplifting incidents as follow: Day No. of shoplifting incidents Before After Monday Tuesday Wednesday | Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday 7 2 3 3 4 3 5 1 8 12 4 Analyze whether there enough evidence to support the claim, at a =0.05, that there is a difference in the number of shoplifting incidents before and after the increase in security?

Travelers who have no intention of showing up often fail to cancel their hotel reservations in a timely manner. These travelers are known, in the parlance of the hospitality trade, as “no-shows”. To protect against no-shows and late cancellations, hotels invariably overbook rooms. A recent study examined the problems of over-booking rooms in the hotel industry. The following data, extracted from the study represent the daily numbers of late cancellations and no-shows for a random sample of 10 days at a hotel: 18, 16, 16, 16, 14, 18, 16, 18, 14, 19. c) Count the number of measurements that actually fall within the interval(x¯−2s, x¯+2s){ and express the interval count as a percentage of total number of measurements
Since first year students reported at the University of Nairobi, a shop attendant at students hall of residence has noticed an increase in sales of fanta soda. As a statistician and market analyst, you would wish to know if there is relationship between soda preference and year level of study at the University of Nairobi. A random sample of 200 students was taken. Their year level and soda preference are given in the table. Soda/Year of study Fist Year Second Year Соса cola 33 57 Fanta 30 20 Spirit 5 35 Stoney 12 8 Based on this information, obtained the Chi-square calculated in 2 decimal places
The table below summarizes data from a survey of a sample of women. Using a 0.01 significance level, and assuming that the sample sizes of 900 men and 400 women are predetermined, test the claim that the proportions of agree/disagree responses are the same for subjects interviewed by men and the subjects interviewed by women. Does it appear that the gender of the interviewer affected the responses of women? Gender of Interviewer Man Woman Women who agree 625 330 Women who disagree 275 70 Compute the test statistic, rounding to three decimal places. Find the critical value(s). (Round to three decimal places) What is the conclusion based on the hypothesis test?

In a poll conducted by The New York Times and CBS News, 44% of Americans approve of the job that the Supreme Court is doing (The New York Times, June 8, 2012). Assume that this percentage was true for the population of Americans at the time of this poll was conducted. A recent poll of 1339 Americans showed that 38% of them approve of the job that the Supreme Court is doing. At a 10% significance level, can you conclude that the current proportion of Americans who approve of the job that the Supreme Court is doing is different from 44%?
A warehouse manager wants to know if there is an association between the shift worked and being on time for work. To investigate, he selects a random sample of 70 workers and classifies each one according to the shift they worked most recently and whether they were on time for work. He was unable to classify a substantial number of people as being on time, so he classified those individuals as unknown. The data are displayed in the table. The manager would like to know if these data provide convincing evidence of an association between the shift worked and being on time in the large population of all workers at this warehouse. The random and 10% conditions are met. Is the Large Counts condition met? Yes, the smallest expected count is 5, so all expected counts are at least 5. Yes, the smallest expected count is 8.54, so all expected counts are at least 5. No, the smallest expected count is 2.56, so the expected counts are not all at least 5. No, the smallest expected count is…
st is 22. Oishi and Shigehiro (2010) report that people who move from home to home frequently as children tend to have lower than average levels of well-being as adults. To further examine this relationship, a psychologist obtains a sample of n = 12 young adults who each experienced 5 or more different homes before they were 16 years old. These participants were given a standardized well-being questionnaire for which the general population has a
1. The percentage of 12- to 17-year-olds who reported talking at least once in the past year with their parents about the dangers of drug, tobacco, or alcohol is 60% nationally. A state youth council believes this proportion is higher in their state, where there has been an intense media campaign about this issue. A survey of randomly chosen students from across the state shows 1032 of 1642 students reporting they are having these conversations with their parents. Is there evidence that the percent of students using drugs, tobacco or alcohol in this state is above the national rate?
The following table shows the ethnic origins of two random samples of students from a Canadian university, one from 2012 and the other from 2022: European 2012 2022 African Asian 308 58 52 364 100 58 Note: Canadian born students are classified according to their ancestry.
